“hi,just wondered if we knew each other in the punk era back then,i was eric waters mate spud,i went to that many gigs in them days i did,nt take any notice of half of them.i do remember doing a gig at the mayflower supporting the hoax.we where doing r n b and eric played guitar i was the singer?i think?.we called ourselves expert advice for the gig.”

“'Ow do Spud; I'm great with faces but crap with names. The Spud that springs to mind was in my class at primary school about a hundred years ago, and the only Eric that rings bells played in Private Sector and I was doing some building work with him while having a working holiday in M/c a few years back. I reckon a lot of people on this site would probably know/ recognise each other (with or without hair...) if they were to cross paths. Never was in a band meself except in a half-hearted/ half-arsed way. Maybe one day there'll be an M.D.M.A. afternoon tea dance at a British Legion somewhere with d.j.s playing old time punk melodies and some of yer housey housey music for the young under 50 kiddies; Log- in lapel names optional...I'm sure there'd be a whole lorra recognition goin' on...”
